Sounds like typical fireant bites to me not an anaphylactic rxn. When I was 8 I stood in a large pile on accident-couldn't wear shows for several days-I was miserable! Calamine lotion is a must, there are also these "roll on" sticks for insect bites-can't remember the names of them.

Are you thinking of "After Bite"? Those things were a godsend when I was in Costa Rica on my honeymoon. The mosquitoes there are on steroids.

"Skeeter Sticks" is what we called them.

I would spend summers covered in calamine lotion when I was a kid. I remember once my little sister fell asleep in the yard with her head on an ant hill ... woke up screaming with them all in her hair! Now, I usually put that special neosporin cream that comes with anesthetic in it on any bites (ant or mosquito) to numb them up a bit so they don't itch/hurt as bad.

I think fire ants have a hard time surviving in cold climates.
